Speaker 1: homework ahead of you. I don't know if you, but
Speaker 1: you were telling us that you have like a task
Speaker 1: that sounds insurmountable to me. A non when I would
Speaker 1: smoke pot, I would, you know, have existential crises and
Speaker 1: just realize things about myself. I didn't want to know.
Speaker 1: But you, yeah, you're You're going to be judging some
Speaker 1: Mary Jane I think is what we're still calling it.
Speaker 4: That the Mary Jane, or they call it Riz or
Speaker 4: something now. I don't know, but that's I'm a judge
Speaker 4: in the Emerald Cup. It is California's I think, biggest
Speaker 4: weed competition. It's every category, tincture, edibles, vapes. Last year
Speaker 4: I was in the vape category. I had to smoke
Speaker 4: two hundred and thirty vapes in a month and a half.
Speaker 4: Oh shit, Yeah, I still have so many of them.
Speaker 4: Like I've never bought a vape again. Like I just
Speaker 4: have a basket full of apes and anytime someone comes over,
Speaker 4: I'm like, please take some some weed. But yeah, it's
Speaker 4: I This year, I'm in the pre roll category, so
Speaker 4: I have to smoke like three hundred joints. We have
Speaker 4: to try every single person that enters a pre roll pack,
Speaker 4: single joint, whatever it is. We got to try every
Speaker 4: single one. And then we meet every week and we
Speaker 4: talk about how we our vote which ones we like.
Speaker 4: There's a very detailed crash. It's it's serious weed smoking. Okay,
Speaker 4: it's not for you know, this isn't some stoner, No,
Speaker 4: a lot of dandelions.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's that's cool. Like that's a cool way
Speaker 1: to judge anything, though, is to like have it be
Speaker 1: sort of Salon style where you kind of like get
Speaker 1: the group together. I don't know, is that how? Like
Speaker 1: I feel like the oscars don't have that much thought
Speaker 1: put into them and they're like the most amous awards,
Speaker 1: Like that's true. You know, they don't like watch a
Speaker 1: thing come back be like hey.
Speaker 2: This was dope, right, they do the thing where they're like, hey,
Speaker 2: what movies were winning awards from the other award shows?
Speaker 2: I see that.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, they don't even watch everything. But no,
Speaker 4: we try every single thing. And then we sit on
Speaker 4: a zoom and you hear very passionate forty to fifty
Speaker 4: year old men defend tweed and it is one of
Speaker 4: my favorite things in the world.
Speaker 1: Wow, what, like, what can you give me just an
Speaker 1: example of like something so like an argument you've heard
Speaker 1: on one.
Speaker 4: Of these Oh, I mean yeah, the vape. Vape is
Speaker 4: a really tough category. It's kind of where they start
Speaker 4: you because it's you have to really prove yourself because
Speaker 4: a lot of people get distracted with vape and just
Speaker 4: like an exciting flavor, you know, like it tastes so good.
Speaker 4: But no, this is a group where we sit down
Speaker 4: and we're like, what about ease of use? How was
Speaker 4: the packaging?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: Was this an easy button charging experience? Is it too
Speaker 4: much plastic? There's a lot that you know, we look
Speaker 4: into and then they hate when something has like a
Speaker 4: fake flavor and it's just about the flavor. It's sore. Wow,
Speaker 4: there was this girl who like loved this raspberry vape thing,
Speaker 4: and I also thought it was good. I was on
Speaker 4: her side. I was like, girl, me you this raspberry gelato.
Speaker 4: It's tasty, and everyone else was just like absolutely not.
Speaker 4: Oh dare no, there's not on this Rod's green Earth.
Speaker 4: Well I get let that into my top ten category
Speaker 4: and we were just like, it's good though, and it
Speaker 4: made me high.
Speaker 1: At least it's not at least it's a sophisticated flavor
Speaker 1: like get raspberry gelato. It's not you know that, so
Speaker 1: you don't have the dirty feeling that it's like trying
Speaker 1: to appeal to, like get eight year olds to smoke weed, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it's this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they have that too. I mean they
Speaker 2: do have that.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. Yeah, this one at least sounds a
Speaker 1: little bit less shady.
Speaker 2: Well, the flavors are so aggressive, like you think you're
Speaker 2: stroking out because how vivid. Like there's even pre rules,
Speaker 2: like there's a company Jeters that have this one that's
Speaker 2: like a horchata one that the first time I spoke,
Speaker 2: I was like like in my mouth, I was like,
Speaker 2: this is the devil though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, this is some chemical I should
Speaker 4: not be And of course I tried it because I
Speaker 4: was like, sounds delicious, but I didn't want that.
Speaker 2: I was you're smoking a car air freshener at that time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like nicotine. The like I started out being
Speaker 1: like this mango shit is like crazy, it tastes like mango,
Speaker 1: but like eventually it's just too monotonous. It's like to
Speaker 1: too much, and like I ended up wanting the one
Speaker 1: that like tasted the worst, but like tasted the most
Speaker 1: like dirt, because that's what cigarettes tastes like. You know,
Speaker 1: just be like, yeah, give me the do you have
Speaker 1: like car exhaust? That's what I'm going for, Just progress
Speaker 1: straight dirt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Well, Ashley, we're going to get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to
Speaker 1: tell the listeners a couple of things. We're talking about.
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court is once again dealing in hypotheticals because
Speaker 1: they need to, because they need to make up the
Speaker 1: scenarios that are going to scare the Christians. So we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. Speaking of the Christians, new hot product
Speaker 1: just dropped. I haven't checked stock x yet yet to
Speaker 1: see if you can get this on there, but Trump Bibles,
Speaker 1: Baby God bless the USA Bibles. We'll talk about that, Jesus.
Speaker 1: It's just I don't like this feels like a new
Speaker 1: low to me, Like it just a new level of
Speaker 1: like on the nosedness. Just I don't know.
Speaker 4: When I read the Bible, I'm like, this is too foreign.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I need this to be American final right right,
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about companies trying to cash in on
Speaker 1: the upcoming solar eclipse which is coming up in a
Speaker 1: little over a week, and it's the total solar eclipse
Speaker 1: of the Hot Hut. Oh of the Hut?
Speaker 2: Is the Pizza Hut? The Pizza Hut?
Speaker 1: Yeah, total eclips of the Hut. But it's happened on
Speaker 1: April eighth. Start, it's probably a little too late to
Speaker 1: make your plans. I start. I was immediately like, all right,
Speaker 1: who do I know who's in the path of this ship? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're going to take my kids there? Because it's right
Speaker 1: too late.
Speaker 2: It's too late.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all all the friends' guest rooms are full,
Speaker 1: and all the hotels are gouging. People will get to it.
Speaker 1: But before we do, Ashley, we like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are.
Speaker 4: I've been on a deep dive to find some rare
Speaker 4: documentaries from sky TV lately.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, Okay.
Speaker 4: Sky TV is a British cable channel, and it's like,
Speaker 4: you can't it's not streaming, it's a cable channel, Like
Speaker 4: you need a British cable box. So I've been doing
Speaker 4: so many deep They have just some great stuff over there,
Speaker 4: Like first they got a Boeing doc so good, but
Speaker 4: I wanted to watch this one specifically, it's called Tell
Speaker 4: Them You Love Me. If you're familiar with the An
Speaker 4: stuben Field case from twenty fourteen, she was a facilitated
Speaker 4: translator who worked with disabled people and she was assigned
Speaker 4: to this guy DJ. He was like thirty years old.
Speaker 4: She was a little older than him. She's this married lady,
Speaker 4: nice white lady in the family is like, yeah, let
Speaker 4: this white, nice lady help our son talk. He's nonverbal
Speaker 4: and you know, lives in a wheelchair. And she was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: we can use a keyboard and I can help guide
Speaker 4: his hand and he'll be able to spell words. And
Speaker 4: at first, like it seemed legit, they thought, Okay, yes,
Speaker 4: I think she's really helping him. He's saying stuff, but
Speaker 4: then slowly they're like everything she's saying he likes seems weird.
Speaker 4: Like she's saying, he likes classical music in red Wine
Speaker 4: and we don't think like our brothers never like experienced
Speaker 4: anything around that. And then one day she's like, so, actually,
Speaker 4: DJ and Iron love of we have been making love.
Speaker 4: I'm leaving my husband and we're going to be together.
Speaker 4: And the family is like, what he's he's literally just
Speaker 4: like he had. The courts have said he has like
Speaker 4: the mental age of probably like a seven year old,
Speaker 4: like he can walk a bit and talk, but like
Speaker 4: you know, and she's like, no, like he's brilliant, like
Speaker 4: look at all the stuff he said. And then another
Speaker 4: psychiatrist and doctor was like, so this lady's been talking
Speaker 4: to herself on this keyboard like hen Yeah, like anyone
Speaker 4: else who tried to do it with him, he couldn't
Speaker 4: spell anything, or they would like be like, okay, you
Speaker 4: know she said he's able to take college classes. They
Speaker 4: would show him a picture of a key and be
Speaker 4: like can you spell what this is? And he couldn't
Speaker 4: do it, and it was just like she's just been
Speaker 4: talking to herself.
Speaker 1: Wow, do you think she knows it? Or is it
Speaker 1: like when you're doing like Ouiji with your friends and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh shit, it just spelled my name, but
Speaker 1: like you're just kind of like doing it, but it's
Speaker 1: like an unconscious part of you.
Speaker 4: No, she believes it because she's in the documentary. Got
Speaker 4: her in the documentary. They got her in the dock,
Speaker 4: The family is in the doc died.
Speaker 2: Everybody it Oh is this a Louis thorroawot?
Speaker 4: You know I think it is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, it is so good.
Speaker 1: Generally, the concept of like British documentaries about like the
Speaker 1: Boeing one. I'm gonna go seek that out, like what
Speaker 1: I went abroad first semester to Ireland to learn Irish
Speaker 1: and like the documentary Lady and the documentaries they were
Speaker 1: showing us in class were like like a philosophy class.
Speaker 1: They like showed us the documentary about America in like,
Speaker 1: you know, just like this new perspective that you just
Speaker 1: don't get in the US, Like that's like, oh, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you're part of like the evil empire. Like look at
Speaker 1: what this military incursion into Peru, the like you didn't
Speaker 1: even know about. And it's like the evilest shit you've
Speaker 1: ever seen. Like it's it's good to get that outside
Speaker 1: perspective and you don't have to read subtitles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the best part. Oh, the best part. Yeah title.
Speaker 4: I mean, and you know Netflix now they buy international
Speaker 4: docks and they just dub over them. They just dub
Speaker 4: it with English, so you can watch anything now.
Speaker 1: Oh, I have Morgan Freeman Morgan overtime just coming in.
Speaker 2: It's a living.
Speaker 1: Damn. That Anne Steubenfield shit. I had never heard that.
Speaker 4: That's yeah, there was a deep dive of New York
Speaker 4: Times article on it, Like go read that and like
Speaker 4: it's start there and you're gonna be like, oh, I
Speaker 4: need to go watch this documentary. It's like the first
Speaker 4: time anyone involved in the case is actually talking.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no space to think that this Like
Speaker 2: Anna Stubblefield person was like, I don't know, that's just
Speaker 2: what I'm thinking. Like she just comes off as a
Speaker 2: straight up predator.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, And it's one of those docks where they
Speaker 4: let her just like talk herself off a cliff where
Speaker 4: she's like no, Like you know, sometimes we would argue
Speaker 4: with each other and I would be like, oh, I
Speaker 4: won't change what you said, and it's so clear that
Speaker 4: what she's saying is impossible, and like even the people around,
Speaker 4: like she had him in a college class and they
Speaker 4: interview the professor and she's like, I never thought it
Speaker 4: never seemed like he was engaging. It never seemed like
Speaker 4: he was the one giving these answers. I never believed
Speaker 4: it was him because it's so clearly was just this
Speaker 4: white lady sitting next to him.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: So it's but in her head, she is one hundred
Speaker 4: percent like no, it was all real. And her husband
Speaker 4: like left her and wrote the court a letter that
Speaker 4: was just like she's manipulative, she is a pathological liar.
Speaker 4: She should go to jail forever.
Speaker 1: She's she's a professor of philosophy as like a.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was like really legit, and she had helped
Speaker 4: a lot of people, so that on the other hand,
Speaker 4: a lot of like disabled rights activists were like, no,
Speaker 4: like wait, we like her. She's done a lot of
Speaker 4: good work, Like she's not entirely wrong about this stuff, right,
Speaker 4: but I think it's in this case, she was very wrong.
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: It's aquen without spoiling anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to give a shout out to someone
Speaker 4: in a Reddit thread I found in my deep Google
Speaker 4: search who posted in illegal link to watch it, and
Speaker 4: so I was finally able to find it. So thank
Speaker 4: you that there. That's my deep Google search. Is that
Speaker 4: shout out to person in Reddit daily motion daily motion

Speaker 4: him and I was like, this is nonsense. This is
Speaker 4: not going to be.
Speaker 2: In the sky.
Speaker 4: It is everything they say it is. It is better
Speaker 4: than everyone told me. It is so good. I'm obsessed
Speaker 4: with this stupid water bottle. I bought accessories for it.
Speaker 4: I made fun of those there's accessories. I made fun
Speaker 4: of the Stanley girls. I was like, who gets accessories
Speaker 4: from a water bottle? I got this I carry with
Speaker 4: me everywhere. I'm like, oh, you can get an air
Speaker 4: pod holder for this thing. Oh, I can get like
Speaker 4: a get Yeah, you get like a little hand sanitizer

Speaker 1: So you have to have a second one for it
Speaker 1: to play.
Speaker 4: I got like colorful boots to decorate it. I am
Speaker 4: so it's better than everyone said.
Speaker 2: It's so good. I didn't know about it because I
Speaker 2: was like at the end of last year. I got
Speaker 2: one at a White Elephant party and like when like
Speaker 2: I had, everyone's like ooh, and I'm like, what the
Speaker 2: fuck is everybody owing about? But this a fucking water bottle.
Speaker 2: And then I drank. I was like, Oh, it's got
Speaker 2: the built in straw. Okay, I see what you're doing here.
Speaker 2: I think that's just like the one thing that makes
Speaker 2: it slightly different. But again, I have so many fucking
Speaker 2: like you know, like if it's like the like the
Speaker 2: one per emotional gift everyone fucking has been handing out
Speaker 2: the last five years, or like hydro flask with some
Speaker 2: brand name on it or whatever. I have such a
Speaker 2: collection that, yeah, I'm having to like look at some
Speaker 2: of them sideways and be like, if you don't have
Speaker 2: the built in straw, yeah, you're just a little can
Speaker 2: based yea.
Speaker 4: And it needs to have a straw cover because I'm
Speaker 4: not sure I don't like the whole raw straw in
Speaker 4: the air deal. That's my that's why I hate the
Speaker 4: stands too. Yeah, it's rank and.
Speaker 2: It's up to you.
Speaker 4: You can sip it or straw basically, yeah, but it
Speaker 4: has a cover. Yeah, I'm using the straw every time
Speaker 4: I say, I drink so much more water. I I
Speaker 4: know everyone is telling you they're good. They're better than
Speaker 4: you think, and the colors are pretty I'm all in
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 6: Sorry, Stanley better than Stanley and there, and you can
Speaker 6: buy them retail price. Yeah, they're not that expensive. And
Speaker 6: I'm they're saying it's the queer Stanley. Frankly, that's what
Speaker 6: the streets are saying. That's what the k streets are saying,
Speaker 6: is that a Wala is the queer Stanley. So think
Speaker 6: about that, think about that in yourself.
Speaker 2: Wow, we'll use mind with pride because it's a beautiful
Speaker 2: thing and it's ex very coded, like yeah you can
Speaker 2: just yeah, very coded.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it goes both ways. It's a bisexual water bottle,
Speaker 4: and right, I support that.
Speaker 1: What some of you think is overrated.
Speaker 4: Right now, I'm gonna go with mental health. I just
Speaker 4: think being well mentally is overrated right now at this
Speaker 4: point in my life and in time, I'm really just
Speaker 4: leaning into mental illness. Let's just let it go, you know,
Speaker 4: let's let's just lean it. Like if you're depressed, watch
Speaker 4: as many murder sad documentaries.
Speaker 1: As you can.
Speaker 4: Let's just see what happens. That's you know. I just
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm a bit we I gave mental
Speaker 4: health a shot and let me just go the other
Speaker 4: way for a bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for youss like, I'm gonna just I've leaned one way,
Speaker 2: I'm going to lean the other and see where I
Speaker 2: net out.
Speaker 4: See where I not out? Yeah, you know, I've been
Speaker 4: watching so many things that are to improve myself or
Speaker 4: educate reading. No, No, you know what I sat and
Speaker 4: I watched I binged a four episode documentary about some
Speaker 4: YouTuber I've never heard of in my life who like
Speaker 4: groomed a bunch of people. It was sad and dark,
Speaker 4: but I want it to Hey, I leaned in now
Speaker 4: I know about this person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which I was gonna say, which which which documentary?
Speaker 2: Because I feel like there's always a fucking documentary about
Speaker 2: YouTubers out a grooming people.
Speaker 4: I oh, I've what is this like Osiren? Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: In real life? Yeah, I had never heard of this
Speaker 4: guy and the whole time, I was like, what's his name?
Speaker 4: O Ryan Nyan? Yeah, and I felt like the oldest
Speaker 4: person in the world because everyone else was like he's
Speaker 4: very well known.
Speaker 2: It's so wild too, Like I do the same thing,
Speaker 2: Like it's weird when like I see something on the
Speaker 2: internet that has like millions of views and just like
Speaker 2: YouTuber and I'm like, what the fun I never heard
Speaker 2: of I've never heard of in sun what the fuck
Speaker 2: is this? But yeah, I know, yeah, I too have
Speaker 2: fallen down the Ossian.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and that broke me a bit mentally, so yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, and that's like what I need mental health for?
Speaker 1: What I need a YouTube video? Did it? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm off the cliff now, Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I was like, sometimes I'm doing
Speaker 1: mental health wrong. But I'm when I'm focusing too much
Speaker 1: on how I'm feeling, I feel like I tend to
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I mean, Like if I'm
Speaker 1: focusing if I'm thinking about my mental health and thinking
Speaker 1: about how I'm feeling and how happy I am, like
Speaker 1: that fucks me up because then if I feel bad,
Speaker 1: it's like like you're sucking. I feel bad about feeling bad,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, so yeah, just like not great. So
Speaker 1: that's why I just have to create.
Speaker 2: That's I just think of it more of like just
Speaker 2: putting yourself in the good of the right environment. Yeah
Speaker 2: all the time, Like more so than being like am
Speaker 2: I one thousand percent happy? Like ecstatic going off? I
Speaker 2: was like, no, man, I just need to make sure
Speaker 2: like I'm I'm in a good I'm always putting myself
Speaker 2: in the right environments, creating myself the right you know what.
Speaker 4: I throw that all out the window, and uh, just
Speaker 4: go just ball, do what you want to do. Just
Speaker 4: do it for the story. Yeah, don't even think about
Speaker 4: how you feel. How do you what do you want?
Speaker 4: How does it feel right now?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: That's what's underrated there you go, all right, that end Owa.
Speaker 1: Obviously, let's take a quick break and we'll come back
Speaker 1: and talk about the Supreme Court. What are those crazy
Speaker 1: kids getting up to? And we're back.
Speaker 2: We are back, and this is the.
Speaker 1: Supreme Court of hypotheticals.
Speaker 2: Yes, Lord, yes, my lord, allow me to present to
Speaker 2: you a case that might happen and then let's restrict
Speaker 2: people's rights based off of this. And Tuesday was no different.
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court heard arguments in FDA versus Alliance for
Speaker 2: Hippocratic Medicine. And this is the case that will potentially
Speaker 2: could determine the fate of abort the abortion pill mifipristone.
Speaker 2: And the gist of their argument of this group, the
Speaker 2: Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, is that the FDA just went
Speaker 2: mad by approving the drug over two decades ago and
Speaker 2: have betrayed they used to use the words betrayed women
Speaker 2: and girls by not looking into the drug enough for
Speaker 2: its potential harmful side effects.
Speaker 1: Just up top.
Speaker 2: This drug is considered by the American Medical Association as
Speaker 2: as safe as thailan al. But the case is deploying
Speaker 2: now this is this is coming from the Alliance for
Speaker 2: Defending Freedom the ADF, and this is they're using one
Speaker 2: of their signature tactics here, which is the hypothetic hype.
Speaker 2: I said hypothetic. I was all my hippocratical I took
Speaker 2: my hypothetic oath hypothetical scenario. Again, we talked about this
Speaker 2: group probably like the end of last year, maybe his
Speaker 2: last June. They were the same people that went after
Speaker 2: anti discrimination laws and went to the Supreme Court. Like
Speaker 2: this lady in Colorado who designs websites. She would get
Speaker 2: in trouble according to these anti discrimination laws for saying
Speaker 2: no to a gay couple that wanted a wedding website.
Speaker 2: And then when you looked in that lady was barely
Speaker 2: a fucking legitimate web designer. That was a very charitable
Speaker 2: description of her. And they faked her entire story about
Speaker 2: even being approached by a gay couple, which was the
Speaker 2: whole point of them being like and this, this is
Speaker 2: the damage that could.
Speaker 1: Could not find a single example of the crime that
Speaker 1: they were trying to be outraged about.
Speaker 2: But the Supreme Court did not care. So in this instance,
Speaker 2: they are saying, the Supreme Court found on like what yes, yes, cool.
Speaker 2: So in this case they're saying, the member of this
Speaker 2: small anti abortion doctor coalition might one day have to
Speaker 2: care for or a patient suffering a rare and severe
Speaker 2: complication from an FDA approved pill. The case speculates quote
Speaker 2: that doctor might that doctor might be forced to administer
Speaker 2: that patient in emergency abortion, violating their anti abortion convictions.
Speaker 2: And that's why we need to put an end to
Speaker 2: the wide distribution of myth bristom and have people search
Speaker 2: out seekbe less safe and dodgier options, and so you know,
Speaker 2: now they are just saying that basically this whole drug
Speaker 2: is just so dangerous. And that's another thing. It's like,
Speaker 2: that's why it's like, because that's it's so dangerous that
Speaker 2: one of these doctors might have to do an abortion
Speaker 2: that they don't want, that they don't believe in, completely
Speaker 2: ignoring the fact that doctors can. They they have like
Speaker 2: there are there are laws that like that allow a
Speaker 2: doctor to be like, I can't in good conscience do this.
Speaker 2: I would like to refer to another person. You're not
Speaker 2: No one's got a gun to you and be like, yo,
Speaker 2: you need to go through it, Like that's just not
Speaker 2: how it works. But again, this is what they're this
Speaker 2: is the reality they're setting up, and that the drug
Speaker 2: is so dangerous. And again you look at the fucking
Speaker 2: things they put up. A study in the Nature the
Speaker 2: journal Nature Medicine looked at six thousand medication abortions provided
Speaker 2: by virtual clinics found that ninety eight percent of them
Speaker 2: were effective without any additional intervention, and ninety nine point
Speaker 2: eight were quote not followed by serious adverse events. And
Speaker 2: throughout the course of this case, the Alliance of Defending
Speaker 2: Freedom has pointed at like junk science that has regularly
Speaker 2: been debunked by study after study when it comes to
Speaker 2: miff for pristone, and then even the studies that they're like,
Speaker 2: see this, this actually furthers our arguments about why this
Speaker 2: is so dangerous. Those studies were pulled by medical journals
Speaker 2: because they were rife with quote, fundamental problems, incorrect factual assumptions,
Speaker 2: material errors, and misleading presentations, not to mention that they
Speaker 2: were written by people that were affiliated with anti abortion groups.
Speaker 2: So it was just already it's just like propaganda from
Speaker 2: the start. And again, look you look at like these
Speaker 2: the scenarios right like this hypothetical, these doctors are not
Speaker 2: the ones that are even prescribing them. If a person
Speaker 2: in the first place, they say they face imminent harm
Speaker 2: because the FDA was over zealous in approving it and
Speaker 2: making it widely accessible. And right now it's not clear
Speaker 2: what the Supreme Court thinks, although they were asking the
Speaker 2: kinds of questions that may lead people to believe that,
Speaker 2: they don't believe that this group has standing to challenge
Speaker 2: the FDA, because that would open up just like the
Speaker 2: FDA would be meaningless.
Speaker 1: Just religion over FDA science, Like, yeah, has anybody cited
Speaker 1: the well known case of person comes in after a
Speaker 1: car crash and doctor says, I can't operate on them
Speaker 1: because they are my sons son, And how could that be?
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Women can be doctors too, but they,
Speaker 1: I mean, they were able to say I can't operate
Speaker 1: on this person. So why wouldn't abortion crazy doctor be
Speaker 1: able to say I can't do this because that's not
Speaker 1: the type of medicine I practice, built my career in
Speaker 1: a different way, and.
Speaker 4: Then this doctor can go do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, the obvious reason here, like that this
Speaker 2: case has even come up is because medication abortions make
Speaker 2: up nearly two thirds of the abortions in the nation.
Speaker 2: And again, it's just another attempt at dragging the country
Speaker 2: back into the nineteenth century. That's why they're even evoking
Speaker 2: the Comstock Laws of eighteen seventy three that were like,
Speaker 2: you cannot send lude materials over the postal service, like
Speaker 2: leaves of grass, Like.
Speaker 4: The abortion pill is is a lude material?
Speaker 2: Yes, it's just like a lot of reaching.
Speaker 4: If you're ordering the abortion pill, you've already been doing
Speaker 4: something pretty lude.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, exactly, And I'm like, but how do
Speaker 2: you again, this is just like they're they're there, really
Speaker 2: did anything to try and get this case to the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court, and like now because they've done anything, they're
Speaker 2: just now. I mean again, it's not that I'm counting
Speaker 2: on this group of very unserious judges to do what's right.
Speaker 2: But even for them, they're like, what are you sure
Speaker 2: about this thing? Like Brett Cavanaugh didn't even ask a question.
Speaker 2: Apparently he was just kind of like, yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna just let somebody else ask something. This this seems
Speaker 2: a bit off, and other you know, other justices I
Speaker 2: think it was Kagan was saying, where is your victim?
Speaker 2: Show me your victim, show me the person who is
Speaker 2: damaged by yes, yes, where is your case?
Speaker 1: That's that should just be the first question that we
Speaker 1: always ask the like right wing people when they want
Speaker 1: to have a panic about. You know, as we talked
Speaker 1: about earlier this week, human trafficking, like the the version
Speaker 1: of human trafficking that they made up for the movie
Speaker 1: like Taken or fucking the Sound of Freedom, like does
Speaker 1: not exist. It doesn't exist. You don't have a single case,
Speaker 1: like it is such a big fucking country. There is
Speaker 1: so much fucked up shit happening to people. You can't
Speaker 1: come up with a single case of a person being
Speaker 1: forced to get an abortion against their will, or like
Speaker 1: a religious doctor having a perfor form an abortion because
Speaker 1: woke laws or you know.
Speaker 2: Like if you mean you mean yeah, or have a
Speaker 2: doctor performing abortion. I mean i'd imagine there probably are
Speaker 2: some cynical versions where someone was made to get an abortion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no that's true. Okay, I should like, yeah,
Speaker 1: of this, there's no example of this, like religious doctor
Speaker 1: having a performing abortion against their.
Speaker 4: Way against Yeah, it's just like what the what conservatives
Speaker 4: do on Twitter now with AI where they're just like
Speaker 4: this is what they're trying to take from us, and
Speaker 4: they hate all and it's just like some AI thing
Speaker 4: of like everyone being black and it's like dei America
Speaker 4: and it's like right.
Speaker 2: Which no, yeah, which is the new way of saying black.
Speaker 4: It's just dyeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you see that they blamed the mayor of Baltimore.
Speaker 1: They were like look at the d e Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mayor wait what the person who got seventy percent of
Speaker 1: the vote in Baltimore?
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's this, this is what they
Speaker 2: do with anything that you know that they code it
Speaker 2: to the point that becomes like like a radioactive term,
Speaker 2: Like you can't say critical race theory or you can't
Speaker 2: say fucking DEI because they'll just keep hammering it away,
Speaker 2: like like I'm saying the N word, right, Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Well, for a little solace for those of us who
Speaker 1: are just fed up with this fucked up country of ours,
Speaker 1: we've got a new product just dropped, the God Bless
Speaker 1: the USA Bible. It is the only Bible that is
Speaker 1: officially endorsed by Donald Trump, famous famous theologian Donald.
Speaker 4: Trump, famous good Christian Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Obviously, I mean let's let's I mean, let's let's let's
Speaker 2: let the man pitch it himself, and maybe maybe people's
Speaker 2: minds will change after they hear, you know what, what
Speaker 2: exactly he's trying to sell us on.
Speaker 7: Now, I'm proud to be partnering with my very good
Speaker 7: friend Lee Greenwood, who doesn't love his song, God Bless
Speaker 7: the USA, in connection with promoting the God Bless the
Speaker 7: USA Bible. This Bible is the King James version and
Speaker 7: also includes are founding for other documents. Yes, the Constitution,
Speaker 7: which I'm fighting for every single day, very hard to
Speaker 7: keep Americans protected. Also the Bill of Rights, the.
Speaker 2: Decuarly anyway, so this goes on for three fuckings.
Speaker 4: He doesn't love it. His favorite his famous song, God
Speaker 4: Bless America. It's yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: Sixty dollars though. Sixty dollars gets you into the door
Speaker 2: of salvation.
Speaker 1: Though yeah, it's not on stock x yet. I just checked,
Speaker 1: so we'll have to see what.
Speaker 2: The demands the street value. Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's he noted in his promotional video it's time to
Speaker 1: make America pray again. And yeah, this wasn't his idea,
Speaker 1: just as the NFTs probably weren't his idea. But he
Speaker 1: reportedly gets royalties of course. Yeah, he's basically two shitty Bibles.
Speaker 1: What William Shattner is to Priceline dot Com. He's just
Speaker 1: you know out here.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of people point to the
Speaker 2: fact that they're like, oh yeah, famous Bible lover. I
Speaker 2: know we were saying, like, you know, noted Christian, but
Speaker 2: like a few years ago, Miles, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4: He definitely reads and he reads that one for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but James for sure. Oh yeah, of course.
Speaker 2: And this is great because I remember about the last
Speaker 2: time when he's on the campaign trail before the twenty
Speaker 2: sixteen election, they're like, oh, man, y'all talking that. You're
Speaker 2: talking that Bible. Shit, man, why don't you tell us
Speaker 2: about your favorite Bible versus? And this this is like
Speaker 2: one of those. This is like that scene in The
Speaker 2: fourty Year Old Virgin where Steve Carell has to lie
Speaker 2: about having sex. Yeah, because he clearly hasn't. This is
Speaker 2: Donald Trump talking about how much he loves the Bible.
Speaker 1: Okay, you mentioned the Bible.
Speaker 8: You've been talking about how it's your favorite book, and
Speaker 8: you said, I think last night in Iowa, some people
Speaker 8: are surprised that you say that. I'm wondering what one
Speaker 8: or two of your most favorite Bible verses are.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want.
Speaker 7: To get into it because to me, that's very personal.
Speaker 1: You don't want to talk about the Bible.
Speaker 7: It's very personal. So I don't want to get.
Speaker 8: Into verses I don't want to get into means a
Speaker 8: lot to you that you think about her site.
Speaker 7: The Bible means a lot to me.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to get.
Speaker 2: Into specifics, even to sight of verse thing.
Speaker 1: No, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 7: Every old Testament guy or New Testament probably equal.
Speaker 1: I think it's incredible.
Speaker 7: The whole Bible is an incredible Joe very much so
Speaker 7: they always hold up the art of the deal. I say,
Speaker 7: my second favorite book of all time.
Speaker 2: But uh, I just think the Bible is just something
Speaker 2: very special.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 2: I love He just even hit him with total bullshit question, Hey,
Speaker 2: your old Testament guy or New Testament?
Speaker 4: Equal equal? And how do you even fight that? You
Speaker 4: can't be like, no, I doesn't even.
Speaker 1: Make That's it probably equal?
Speaker 2: What's you like more? You like Reasonable Doubt or the
Speaker 2: Black Album?
Speaker 1: I love the equal I just think that you something
Speaker 1: very special.
Speaker 2: Although I don't like that one song Dead Presidents a
Speaker 2: little bit too violent for me get money. But yeah,
Speaker 2: the whole fucking it's too it's too personal, Like come
Speaker 2: on like that. There's not a single Christian who talks
Speaker 2: like that, Like you can't even talk like a Christian.
Speaker 2: He would probably be like, just make something up, right,
Speaker 2: you could be like, I love, Well, that's not really
Speaker 2: a verse. I love the whole creation story because no, no, I.
Speaker 4: Love I love that the Bible is so personal and
Speaker 4: special that you can sell it for sixty dollars and
Speaker 4: piaste in the Constitution. That's how in the Bill of Rights, like,
Speaker 4: that's how special it is. And some probably handwritten like
Speaker 4: lyrics of a song from some guy.
Speaker 9: Yea, it is the lyrics to God bless the USA
Speaker 9: got Allegians, which like doesn't feel that solemn Like that
Speaker 9: feels a little I don't know the pledge of and
Speaker 9: even like the price right, like you know, you know
Speaker 9: the Bible doesn't cost sixty dollars, but in this version
Speaker 9: they're like the reason the logic here of why it
Speaker 9: is such a high price point is because it's the
Speaker 9: only Bible that is officially endorsed by Donald Trump. What
Speaker 9: the fuck this is where he's at now, Just let's
Speaker 9: just endorse shit that people have in their house.
Speaker 2: And they'll buy it.
Speaker 4: Though they are gonna buy it, it's probably sold out already.
Speaker 2: M now you can still get it.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, good to you. Okay. I mean I forget
Speaker 4: the pledge of allegiance sometimes, so it would be good
Speaker 4: to have it in a Bible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: I just believe in end separation of church and state completely,
Speaker 4: and finally there's a Bible that represents that for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no way he could like make it through
Speaker 1: a single book of the King James, Like, there's just no, that's.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's made it through an entire church
Speaker 4: service in his life.
Speaker 1: No, this is so fucking boring, Like that's what he's saying.
Speaker 4: I have a call. That's that's a bad Trump impression.
Speaker 4: If both were nailing, you were both so good.
Speaker 2: It's all energetic. He's definitely the kind of guy who
Speaker 2: was who would be like if there were smartphones when
Speaker 2: he was probably ever in a church, he would just
Speaker 2: be glued to that. Fucking yeah yeah, I don't know
Speaker 2: was he saying, did you have the snack with the
Speaker 2: grape juice yet?
Speaker 1: Like is this a new level of cynicism? Did I
Speaker 1: just like have a hard reset when I was sleep
Speaker 1: asleep last night and like woke up and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: whoa wait, where are we this motherfucker's selling? But like
Speaker 1: just evil hitler obsessed, drug addled fascist is trying to
Speaker 1: squeeze more money out of his poor followers by selling
Speaker 1: them bibles. Is just like it just feels too obviously
Speaker 1: evil and stupid to like be a real thing that
Speaker 1: is happening. Like it just feels like a bad, right,
Speaker 1: bad work of satire.
Speaker 4: At this point, you feel like even someone on his
Speaker 4: side would be like, Okay, come on, hold on a side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Bible.
Speaker 4: This is the thing that we're supposed to really care about.
Speaker 4: You you're saying your Bible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just did like a Supreme type collab with the
Speaker 2: Holy Bible Bible. But I guess that's kind of what
Speaker 2: he's on, Like how Supreme does like really weird collaborations
Speaker 2: like a pool table, a leaf blower or whatever. It
Speaker 2: is going to be like, yeah, man, I have Trump forks,
Speaker 2: I eat off a Trump plate, I use Trump paper
Speaker 2: napkins I have. It's just like that. I guess that's
Speaker 2: the next logical step because if we've already done like vacations,
Speaker 2: time shares, state stupid real estate classes exactly, steaks, sneakers,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Yeah, and now the Bible,
Speaker 2: I think we have to get into like disposable goods now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like those sneakers probably like you don't
Speaker 1: hear much about those sneakers. I'm wondering, can listeners who
Speaker 1: live in places that you know, Red States let us
Speaker 1: know if they're seeing any of these around, like just
Speaker 1: like as you're driving down the street, is like blinding you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or the collectors are like, no, I got to
Speaker 2: keep it on a shelf man, Yeah, next to my,
Speaker 2: next to my Thomas Jefferson Trail of Tears commemorative plate set. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't seen him.
Speaker 2: Andrew Jackson. I didn't mean to thiated Thomas.
Speaker 4: I've seen a few cyber trucks, but I have not seen.
Speaker 1: Seeing a cyber truck in the wild. Is still pretty wid?
Speaker 1: Is fucking mind blowing? Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's yeah, too much? Yeah, because what because you're so jealous,
Speaker 2: Because I'm like, god, damn it, I want it.
Speaker 1: That guy thinks better than me. Cool and he is
Speaker 1: and he knows it. That's what I hate about so hard.
Speaker 1: And he's in cyber truck. All right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and this is your notice that we are a little
Speaker 1: over one week away from the total solar eclipse on
Speaker 1: April eighth. This is an especially rare event because its
Speaker 1: path of totality will be much wider than the twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen eclipse, which was one of the first stories we
Speaker 1: covered on this show. So April eighth will be one
Speaker 1: of the last stories we cover. We're ending it. It's
Speaker 1: a we just do what the sun tells us, you
Speaker 1: know exactly. But this is going to give more Americans
Speaker 1: a clear view of the phenomenon than the last time
Speaker 1: I have. I'm on the record as saying like I've
Speaker 1: been mostly I haven't been in the direct path of
Speaker 1: any of these eclipse experiences, but like they've been mostly
Speaker 1: underwhelming in my experience.
Speaker 2: Because it because you got to be in that path.
Speaker 1: You gotta go. You got in the path.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we still try.
Speaker 1: We still go out there and we're like, whoa, look
Speaker 1: that light reflecting off the thing kind of.
Speaker 4: Has yeah, wow, look at that. Look at the shadow? Yeah,
Speaker 4: oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Or use like a like a like binoculars or something
Speaker 2: in am so you can project the shadow onto the ground.
Speaker 1: I remember doing that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then I go, honestly, I think I could
Speaker 4: look at it. I really don't think anything will happen
Speaker 4: if I look at it. I'm just my way. I
Speaker 4: goes don't know, no, and I'm like, okay, come on,
Speaker 4: I don't think anything happens.
Speaker 2: I'm taking a sneaky look at the clips, like.
Speaker 4: I look at the sun every day in my life. Basically,
Speaker 4: you gotta give it.
Speaker 2: I got I like to give a good, solid three
Speaker 2: minutes of direct.
Speaker 4: Wait, that's how I reset my day. Okay, that's how
Speaker 4: I elevate as a human. You need the human it's
Speaker 4: just eye contacted.
Speaker 2: The factory reset. I know you're saying. You put a
Speaker 2: what a hyper ice massage gun to the town.
Speaker 1: As a way to do a hard reset.
Speaker 2: Factory you said on your brain, the new one. Go outside.
Speaker 2: First thing you wake up, direct eye contact with the
Speaker 2: sun for three.
Speaker 1: Straight solar eclipse lasts for four minutes twenty seven seconds.
Speaker 1: So that's the that's the ice fucking challenge of this
Speaker 1: solar eclipse is staring for the whole at four minutes
Speaker 1: twenty seven second twenty Yeah. There you go, Yeah, there
Speaker 1: you go. Are you real? How much do you like
Speaker 1: solar eclipses? Bro? You've got like science people who are like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: we're traveling there. Oh yeah, you're about that. Then you
Speaker 1: look at it, but yeah, you go look at it
Speaker 1: with the eyes.
Speaker 4: Exactly, been the rest of your day blinking a lot
Speaker 4: because there's a big blind spot there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly the rest of your life blinking. But people
Speaker 1: are going nuts. I specifically, when our writer jam put
Speaker 1: the story in the dock this morning, I immediately was like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, I better do something, and it's way too late.
Speaker 1: So these people aren't wrong, they're just more prepared than me.
Speaker 1: There's been a small spending boom across the country. Campgrounds
Speaker 1: and rental cars have sold out. Hotel rooms are getting
Speaker 1: booked up thanks to a massive number of tourists planning
Speaker 1: to visit states in the path of totality Indiana, which
Speaker 1: actually isn't that where you're where you hail from.
Speaker 4: I am from the Midwest. I'm from Illinois or from
Speaker 4: the midwest Illinois, but I'll claim it is Midwest. But
Speaker 4: we are er than them.
Speaker 1: Yes, of course, Indiana is preparing to get five hundred
Speaker 1: thousand visitors.
Speaker 4: That's probably that's a lot for Indiana who goes there.
Speaker 4: That's it's probably the most they've had in a while.
Speaker 1: That's more than seven times the attendants at the twenty
Speaker 1: twelve Super Bowl in Indianapolis, so they're they're in trouble. Wow.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, that's probably more than the last
Speaker 4: time the Colts were in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, it's too many people. So I let's say,
Speaker 1: for for a city like Indianapolis. But despite the fact
Speaker 1: that eclipses are totally free astronomical occurrences that anybody can witness,
Speaker 1: corporations besides, you know, not just hotels, are trying to
Speaker 1: monetize the eclipse as much as possible. This one sounds
Speaker 1: pretty good, Like I'm actually not mad at this this
Speaker 1: first one, six Flags, first one you're mad at? Six Yeah,
Speaker 1: six Flags in Texas is trying to get people to
Speaker 1: pay them to witness the eclipse while simultaneously trying not
Speaker 1: to puke on the Superman Tower of Terror. With the
Speaker 1: six Flags Fiesta Texas Solar Eclipse at the Park aka
Speaker 1: Solar Coaster.
Speaker 4: That sounds cool.
Speaker 1: That's as cool as okay, because I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think the experience is gonna be that cool, right.
Speaker 2: I think the the I guess the hottest ticket would
Speaker 2: be what if you're because I know those Superman rides.
Speaker 2: It's like basically a big J shaped thing where they
Speaker 2: shoot you up to like fucking seven hundred feet in
Speaker 2: the air and then you're like, you know, your bag,
Speaker 2: like you're just looking straight up at the sky, maybe
Speaker 2: being that high up in it when an eclipse is happening.
Speaker 1: Now you're going to be But.
Speaker 2: That's like that's like forty people. Yeah, that's what I'm like,
Speaker 2: make the fuck.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I like it only lasts four minutes, so yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: And it's like one like it's actually between like deployments
Speaker 2: of the like the amusement car, so it's like no
Speaker 2: one actually ever consists up there. It's like they're just
Speaker 2: getting on and off. It's yeah, dude, it's happening, get
Speaker 2: off so we can go up to like sorry, that's
Speaker 2: a really good point.
Speaker 1: Like they are selling an idealized version of what this
Speaker 1: could be in your mind that is going to not
Speaker 1: happen for ninety nine point nine percent.
Speaker 2: Of the people who pay them.
Speaker 1: Most people are going to be in line.
Speaker 4: Which that's a good drift. That's a good drift.
Speaker 2: It is a good grit, better grift. Okay, I definitely
Speaker 2: I'll tip my hat to the grift part. I think
Speaker 2: the Delta one is a has me hooked a little
Speaker 2: bit more, but then realizing this will be a fucking problem.
Speaker 2: I don't know how fun it would be. But they're
Speaker 2: offering flights that basically followed THEYP totality and then you
Speaker 2: can basically they're saying unadulterated views from quote extra large windows.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's just the fucking windows that are on
Speaker 2: the plant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like a new plane, what are you doing to
Speaker 4: make the windows extra large?
Speaker 1: I like this bowing. I don't know if you've seen her.
Speaker 4: With everything going on with planes, I think there's a
Speaker 4: mercury retrograde. And then no, I am not going to
Speaker 4: be on a plane during this, But.
Speaker 2: I can see like the appeal of being like, oh
Speaker 2: you might be able to see like the land like
Speaker 2: become dark in these strips. Maybe that's cool. But if
Speaker 2: you only but imagine what if this is like one
Speaker 2: of those planes, Like how big is a plane? Is
Speaker 2: it a three? Like they got three aisles or three
Speaker 2: rows in the middle, Like what if you sit in
Speaker 2: the middle or if you have a fucking aisle seat?
Speaker 1: Then you're like, hey, man, can I get a little
Speaker 1: bit of a look? Like fuck you?
Speaker 4: I pay.
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: Did I?
Speaker 1: That's your problem?
Speaker 2: That's your but yeah, that's I mean, like, but you know,
Speaker 2: I see they're doing a good job of you know,
Speaker 2: dangling this like magical experience in front of you. But
Speaker 2: if you just think it out for like two or
Speaker 2: three steps you're like, oh wait, yeah, Like why would
Speaker 2: I do that.
Speaker 1: I feel like even the like news footage from the
Speaker 1: like places that are in the path of totality and
Speaker 1: previous eclipses, the people remind me. I think I said
Speaker 1: this before of the interviews with people after they saw
Speaker 1: a phantomnace, Like you know, they like the the when
Speaker 1: they had like the local news reports and they're like,
Speaker 1: and these Star Wars fans have been camped out for
Speaker 1: seventy two hours for this, and we interviewed them like
Speaker 1: before going in and after, and then you like have
Speaker 1: them coming out and they're all.
Speaker 10: Like, yeah, it was oh man, It's like, oh it
Speaker 10: was cool, so cool like it they're like, is it
Speaker 10: as good as the other Star Wars better?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like but you can tell like like the light
Speaker 1: has gone out like behind their eyes a little bit,
Speaker 1: Like they're just like a fuck, like put some part
Speaker 1: of them is coming to terms with the fact that
Speaker 1: it sucked. Like I feel like I've seen that in
Speaker 1: some of the footage of like parents who have like
Speaker 1: taken their kids across the country to be there, and
Speaker 1: they're just like, yeah, I mean we're in a field here,
Speaker 1: and sure, it's cool. We're glad that I saw.
Speaker 2: I remember, I think somewhere in Oregon was like the
Speaker 2: best place to see it the last time it happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 2: And I remember seeing footage of that and people like
Speaker 2: were like, yo, we got so fucking cold. All was like,
Speaker 2: oh that shit together. I was like, Okay, if I
Speaker 2: was fucking a I would be like.
Speaker 4: That, I'd be cool.
Speaker 2: I yeah, wild. But then it's four minutes and then.
Speaker 4: You're like, oh, it's like okay, well that happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we are worth two twenty five hundred dollars
Speaker 2: for the overpriced plane, hotel, and cars.
Speaker 4: Well, we'll have all the money we spent. That's the memory, right,
Speaker 4: When the.
Speaker 1: Fuck that's right?
Speaker 2: When are we getting ours out here in La Come on? Man,
Speaker 2: wasn't it?
Speaker 1: Come on?
Speaker 4: God, wasn't there an eclips out here? We had like
Speaker 4: a l a like mini eclipse or something.
Speaker 2: We had a yeah, but not like a total like
Speaker 2: we were never in the path of totality.
Speaker 11: We've never been path of totality exactly. But I mean like, yeah, well,
Speaker 11: you know, people like Delta doing their ship. I'm glad
Speaker 11: that the fast food companies are also they're they're on
Speaker 11: their game to making sure that they have solar eclips
Speaker 11: based puns, but really just offering nothing of substance.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean the Burger King is offering free
Speaker 1: whoppers for that whole day for some reason.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't eat a whopper if it was free.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know that's that connection. I'm not saying I would.
Speaker 4: I actually would. I like, I like a whopper, but
Speaker 4: I think we're boycott. I don't know. I haven't had
Speaker 4: burging a year or so.
Speaker 2: No, just just for me, I was like, every time
Speaker 2: I've had a burger like a whopper, I'm like, I'm right, But.
Speaker 1: Then that what that like? Yeah, every other time it's bad.
Speaker 1: But when when it hits, it's and it.
Speaker 4: Only happened, Yeah, it only happens on Wapper Wednesday. That's
Speaker 4: the one day that it's.
Speaker 2: Really right, oh man.
Speaker 1: Or an eclipse, Yeah, during an eclipse. It's the one time.
Speaker 3: Maybe.
Speaker 1: See the guys were actually gonna like make the whopper
Speaker 1: good this time. They really put some fucking effort in, y'all.
Speaker 1: Pizza Hut has a total eclipse of the Hut deal,
Speaker 1: which sounds like the New York post headline after Pizza
Speaker 1: Hut goes out of business. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of
Speaker 1: weird that they've gone with that, but maybe that's what
Speaker 1: they're going for. They're like, this deal is too good,
Speaker 1: We're actually not going to survive it. But it's any
Speaker 1: large pizza for twelve dollars.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and any toppings. I think that's the big one there,
Speaker 4: because that's pretty bit is the topics are extra.
Speaker 1: Toppings will fuck you up? Yeah, twelve dollars for as
Speaker 1: many toppings as you want.
Speaker 2: Well that even but I know recently you're like you're
Speaker 2: not feeling Pizza the Hut, so are you? Would you
Speaker 2: entertain that?
Speaker 1: Load that shit down?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I love like pizza popping, full pizza. I love supreme pizza,
Speaker 1: Like that's my ship.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they're thinning. Crispy's pretty good too.
Speaker 1: You love Pizza Hut just generally?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I like, yeah, I loved the mini pizzas
Speaker 4: growing up as a kid, and so it just kind
Speaker 4: of became one of my favorite pizza spots for you know,
Speaker 4: like cheap fast pizza that's better than like Papa John's
Speaker 4: or Little Caesars.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, who was the guest? I was saying that
Speaker 2: it's basically they're they're they're selling you Little Caesar's pizza
Speaker 2: at a slight higher mark describe.
Speaker 4: Cheese is way better at Pizza Hut.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you know what crazy bread at Little Caesars
Speaker 2: that's still in the left.
Speaker 1: Little Caesars is experimenting with like little like pizza cupcakes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just like they're caught that out of the corner
Speaker 1: of my eye and they're struggling. Not now, Little Caesar's.
Speaker 4: Not now, they're paying a lot of people on Twitter
Speaker 4: to promote it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like please, please, please, I can't deal with this
Speaker 2: right now. They're like, eat ours from the ass end.
Speaker 2: You're like, what that's like. I think that was one
Speaker 2: of the marketing when they had like the fucking wild
Speaker 2: ass crust on the side. They're like they put it
Speaker 2: that way or something. But yeah, from the.
Speaker 1: Back, we know how these are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they eat the ass, so eat the beat it
Speaker 2: from the ass end.
Speaker 1: Son Chips have woken from their slumbers again. Another brand
Speaker 1: that only we only think about once every twenty years,
Speaker 1: but Son Chips will be selling a special eclipse themed flavor,
Speaker 1: but only during the time of the eclipse, So you
Speaker 1: in order to experience this, you will need to be
Speaker 1: during the eclipse, spending that time on your laptop trying
Speaker 1: to buy sun chips. Yeah, it's available, like the marketing says,
Speaker 1: available for four minutes twenty seven seconds.
Speaker 4: I okay, this sounds dumb, but when I read the flavor,
Speaker 4: I was actually like, I would do it. I want
Speaker 4: to try it.
Speaker 2: It's different enough. Yeah, you're like, oh okay, because sometimes
Speaker 2: they'll be like the flavor description be so vague. They'll
Speaker 2: be like it's like a combination of the dark side
Speaker 2: of the moon and the heat of the sun hitting
Speaker 2: your mouth in one go, and you're like, get.
Speaker 1: To the point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hot pineapple, hobb and narrow, black bean, spicy Guda chips.
Speaker 1: That's too many flavors I want to see.
Speaker 4: I'm like, how are we doing this?
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I think I think they have two options.
Speaker 1: They have pineapple, hobb and arrow and black bean, the
Speaker 1: two stoners over here like black being with the flavors
Speaker 1: straight pond me tongue. Now, no way, okay, Well I'm
Speaker 1: gonna buy them both. I'm gonna eat them together. So whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, So this next detail of this story is
Speaker 1: one of the rare things that made me say that's
Speaker 1: fucked up out loud. Well everything said, yeah right, everything
Speaker 1: we just said. So eclipse to us are being screwed
Speaker 1: over by greedy hotels who are allegedly canceling reservations that
Speaker 1: were made over a year ago by people who were
Speaker 1: like on it, like we've known about this eclipse since
Speaker 1: the sixteen hundreds, so.
Speaker 4: Like you couldn't this shity prepared?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah right, and they booked it over a year
Speaker 1: ago in order to you know, be there for the eclipse,
Speaker 1: and the hotels are canceling those reservations because they're like,
Speaker 1: not fair, we weren't able to gouge you enough, and
Speaker 1: so basically trying to resell the room at a higher cost.
Speaker 1: Now the demand has risen.
Speaker 5: That make like that should be the thing that starts
Speaker 5: the uprising, Like fuck, yeah, that so should be any
Speaker 5: people angry nerd starting a war?
Speaker 1: No, like that is so infuriating, and that they'll just
Speaker 1: like get away with it. Yeah, they're like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just it's the price gouging. Shit, it's the whole like,
Speaker 1: you know the fact that they don't mind just raising
Speaker 1: prices during the fucking pandemic because they can, and the
Speaker 1: mainstream media is just like, yeah, well that's market cat
Speaker 1: forces at work. It's like, no, that's companies making record
Speaker 1: profits during a pandemic like they this. This drives me
Speaker 1: fucking crazy that it's just like market forces is a
Speaker 1: get out of like morality term that they're just gonna
Speaker 1: use to fuck people over like forever, and like this
Speaker 1: is that is that makes me so mad for some reason,
Speaker 1: canceling the reservations of the people who because like that
Speaker 1: could never be me. I could never be the person
Speaker 1: who was like like, oh, the things coming up in
Speaker 1: a year like this, this would be a great experience
Speaker 1: for my kids. I'm gonna book it a year in
Speaker 1: advance and we'll like plan this thing like that is.
Speaker 1: I look on those people like they are professional.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I would never that would never be me.
Speaker 1: Wow, you're amazing you are.
Speaker 4: Yeah you should benefit.
Speaker 2: I feel like, though, Jackie, if you did put in
Speaker 2: that effort and then a fucking hotel canceled on you,
Speaker 2: you would be the main character in one of those
Speaker 2: like UVA bowls falling down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it would be yes, I would be It
Speaker 1: would be over for these hopes in that hotel industry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, these hotels, I'm burning it down. Yeah, yeah, I would.
Speaker 1: Be so angry. I'm so mad. I've never been so
Speaker 1: mad on behalf of like complete strangers who just like
Speaker 1: kind of got screwed out of like some money.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But well I guess they got screwed out of the
Speaker 1: whole thing because like now all the hotels are bucking up,
Speaker 1: and so they're just like without reservation.
Speaker 2: I mean at the very least, like if in the
Speaker 2: most centical version they should be like, hey man, we're
Speaker 2: thinking about cancer. Yea, somebody just offered us a fucking
Speaker 2: back for your comfortable your double twin room that you
Speaker 2: you book you want to match, maybe, yeah, give you
Speaker 2: first refusal on this one.
Speaker 1: The other one that your people are probably more likely
Speaker 1: to fall victim two is the fake ass eclipse glass
Speaker 1: fake eclipse glasses which will damage your eyes. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: basically you need if they don't clearly state on the
Speaker 1: glasses that they have quote International Organization for Standardization is
Speaker 1: O one two three one two DASH two certification. Do
Speaker 1: not buy those for your kids?
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4: Make sure it's that DASH too, not the DASH one
Speaker 4: you don't want to Yeah.
Speaker 2: That one just means like oh dash one, no, that
Speaker 2: will accelerate the damage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even actually won't have eyebrows or eyelashes,
Speaker 1: gonna yeah, oh shit yeah. Back in twenty seventeen, Amazon
Speaker 1: recalled sketchy eclipse glasses sold through their Sight, but they
Speaker 1: did it just two days before the eclipse and ended
Speaker 1: up facing a class action lawsuit. So nobody's gonna save
Speaker 1: you from capitalism. This is the message of this eclipse.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, yeah, eclipses have set off like big historic events,
Speaker 1: but in the past, maybe this this will cause cause
Speaker 1: us to overthrow capitalism.
Speaker 2: So something activates the whole country's manchurion in Canada. That's
Speaker 2: just like what destroy our masters. It just reminds me
Speaker 2: too of just like in like the height of the pandemic,
Speaker 2: whenever one's like, oh yeah, these are these N ninety
Speaker 2: fives I got mann't I got these? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, In fact they were not they were.
